I Have Divorced Your Sister, Why Are You Not Leaving? - Chapter 11

Chapter 11. Quarrel Between Sisters

Li Mo now truly understood.

The difference between an elementary school student… and a university student.

Su Qingyan was nothing like the little girl she used to be.

“Stop messing around…”

“The house has already been sold.”

Su Qingyan let go of Li Mo and sat down beside him.

“Sold? So now you’re going to invest in instant messaging?”

Li Mo patted Su Qingyan’s head.

“Yeah, I’ve already rented an office building.”

“Starting tomorrow…”

“You’ll stay by my side. Summer break is just a few days away anyway.”

Hearing Li Mo’s words…

Su Qingyan felt incredibly happy.

Days off didn’t matter…

What mattered was that she could stay with Li Mo.

“Sure!”

“Bro, from now on, I’ll stick with you.”

“When the time’s right, we’ll get married and have kids.”

A sweet smile spread across Su Qingyan’s face.

Then…

as if suddenly remembering something—

“Bro.”

“Since… our house is sold now, where are we going to live?”

“Should we book a hotel room?”

Li Mo sighed helplessly.

“You’re only nineteen. How can you talk so carelessly?”

Su Qingyan glanced at him.

“Bro… it’s your mind that’s dirty.”

“Booking a room is just for staying, obviously.”

“Not everyone who checks into a hotel is a couple.”

“I’m totally against messy premarital relationships.”

Li Mo: “……”

“Don’t worry.”

“I’ve got it all planned. I’ll buy you a villa in a couple of days.”

Su Qingyan chuckled but didn’t take his words seriously.

Even her sister wouldn’t dare promise something like that.

A villa in Shenzhen? That would cost at least twenty million.

“Bro, stop teasing me.”

“Anyway, no matter what, I’m sticking with you.”

“That’s our deal.”

“Don’t even think about shaking me off.”

Meanwhile…

Ma Tengyun was completely overwhelmed.

A monthly salary of ten thousand…

was way too high.

Though Shenzhen was developing rapidly, the average pay for computer professionals was only around six or seven thousand.

But now…

Qingyan Investment Company was offering ten thousand.

Talent from all over was rushing to apply.

By ten o’clock…

Ma Tengyun had already hired over a dozen employees.

Only when he announced that recruitment was closed for the day did the flood of applicants finally stop.

“Tengyun, we’re here!”

Hearing his old classmate’s voice, Ma Tengyun felt a wave of relief.

It was him!

Zhang Zhidong had arrived!

Zhang Zhidong was Ma Tengyun’s college buddy—his closest friend.

Most importantly… his computer skills were unmatched.

In all of Shenzhen’s tech circles… it was hard to find someone as skilled as him.

Even Ma Tengyun himself paled in comparison.

Building an instant messaging platform…

would be impossible without Zhang Zhidong.

“Zhidong, you made it!”

“Zeng Liqing! You’re here too!”

Ma Tengyun was thrilled.

He hadn’t expected Zeng Liqing to show up as well.

Zeng Liqing was another old friend.

A graduate of Xi’an University of Electronic Science and Technology.

His “Broadband Community” project—built from nothing— had already proven his genius in marketing.

“And you guys!”

“Xu Chenye!”

“Zhang Yidan!”

“You’re here too! Back in high school, you two were already legendary computer prodigies!”

Looking at his four old friends, Ma Tengyun could hardly believe they’d all come.

“Of course we’re here.”

“We heard you secured funding.”

“Naturally, we’re in this with you!”

The four of them were just as excited.

Their previous jobs…

had been dull and uninspiring.

Now… they were ready to pour their youth into this new venture—

to fight for a completely different future!

“Not bad, Tengyun.”

“Back when you first told us about instant messaging…”

“We supported you but couldn’t find investors.”

“And now you actually got funding?”

Ma Tengyun nodded.

“Absolutely!”

“This investor… well, let’s just say…”

“Hmm…”

“He’s… unique.”

The four exchanged puzzled glances.

He sold his house to invest today?

That…

was way too bold.

Zhang Zhidong: “Tengyun, you’re not joking, right?”

Zeng Liqing: “Yeah, that does sound… unique.”

Ma Tengyun continued, “Not just that—even though he only had 1.5 million on him…”

“He rented this entire office floor for three million a year.”

“Started an investment company.”

“And our instant messaging project is just one of the things he wants to fund.”

“Plus, he’s hiring a hundred people at ten grand a month.”

“That’s where the salary I mentioned comes from.”

“He said he’s going to make ten million tomorrow.”

The four were stunned.

“Tengyun, you’re not getting scammed, are you?”

“Right, this guy sounds… unstable. Was he drunk?”

They all thought it was a real possibility.

Making ten million in a day?

Was he some kind of god?

Ma Tengyun had no confidence either, but there was no turning back now.

“What do we even have to get scammed over?”

“Worst case, we waste some time.”

“But if he really does have ten million… that changes everything.”

“Our instant messaging platform…”

“could become huge. My guess is he has stocks worth ten million…”

“and plans to cash out tomorrow!”

The others nodded…

That made the most sense.

“Anyway, let’s wait and see how he handles our project tomorrow!”

“I’m telling you—instant messaging will be ours!”

The office buzzed with the young men’s hopes and dreams for the future.

Night deepened.

Su Qingyan remained by Li Mo’s side.

She didn’t want to leave…

“Go rest, sis.”

“It’s late.”

Su Qingyan clung to his arm.

“No…”

“I just want to stay with you.”

Li Mo pinched her nose affectionately.

“Go on.”

“We’ve got work tomorrow.”

Just as Su Qingyan was reluctantly about to leave…

her phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID—”Sister”—

her expression instantly stiffened.

She instinctively put some distance between herself and Li Mo.

Even though Li Mo and Su Xiaoxiao were already divorced…

she still couldn’t shake the guilt.

“Little sis.”

“Are you staying at the dorm?”

“Come live at my new place.”

Hearing Su Xiaoxiao’s voice…

Su Qingyan’s heart raced nervously.

“No, I’m still at home.”

“I don’t want to live with you.”

Su Qingyan knew…

to her sister, she was practically invisible.

Su Xiaoxiao would go days without checking on her.

Wouldn’t even cook for her.

Living together? It’d be no different from being alone.

Hearing that Su Qingyan was still staying with Li Mo…

Su Xiaoxiao’s voice turned sharp.

“How can you still be living there? I’m divorced from him—you two are strangers now, understand?”

“You’re an adult.”

“Men and women shouldn’t live together. It’s inappropriate.”

“People will talk.”

“Get out now.”

“I’ll come pick you up.”

Su Qingyan’s temper flared at her sister’s commanding tone.

“I like living with my brother, so what?!”

“I am a grown up, stop controlling me!”

But when it came to her relationship with Li Mo…she still didn’t dare tell Su Xiaoxiao the truth.
